The untimed, beginner-friendly course guides participants through the vibrant surrounding area on public roads and paths, welcoming runners, joggers, and walkers of all ages and fitness levels. Expect typical race day conditions in early April to be pleasant, with highs around 70F and lows around 46F, and only a 16% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the run, the event fosters a festive environment with music, games, food, and partner activations, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone.

More than just a run, the North Carolina Brewery Running Series is committed to giving back, with a portion of all proceeds directly supporting local nonprofit organizations.
